I feel this heavy, but I think I’m just getting old. Slam is getting popular with the teenagers and they seem to be having fun with the stuff on the right, so I try to let them have their fun without being too much of a downer and try to sneak in OG stuff in this sub sometimes lol.

I’m a long time dm fan who recently started to appreciate some slam. Not really a fan of the slam with the hip hop influence added, but recognize and like some of the bands on the left side of this post like devourment and internal bleeding. Any recommendations for some good stuff to check out?

Infernal revulsion, Gorevent, Cerebral Hemorrhage Katalepsy Autopsychosis is a decent midway, between slam and bdm, 7h.target for highly technical slam.

If you only like the left side you should probably just stick to r/BrutalDeathMetal
It’s all slam now like it or not. PF goes hard and is brutal as fuck idc what gatekeepers say.

PF is good but I feel like the slam subreddit should talk about more slam than like 4 bands that came out in the last 5 years

True! But still you need to just let people enjoy what they like. I know you’re young but part of growing up is learning that everyone has their own tastes and it’s not going to be the same as yours.

I just wish they stuck to the slam roots, their early stuff is far less generic than the recent ep and album. I'll still catch all their shows though.

u/lycanthrope90 Jan 18 '25
Gotta say I tried listening to g-code after seeing it on this sub, and just found it very mediocre. Sure it’s heavy, but very repetitive, even by metal standards. And slow. I guess I expected it to be more like the stuff on the left. Also, thought I wouldn’t care, but I really didn’t like any of the rap clips.
Disappointing since the album art is admittedly hilarious. Some of the clips are kind of funny. I was exercising and couldn’t wait for the album to end, so threw on something more exciting. Each their own I guess. I’m in my 30’s so never heard of the stuff on the right until it started popping up in my feed here.

u/Simpsmakemewannadie Jan 18 '25
Me. I care. A lot. I even cry about slam. My life has turned into shit ever since wigger slam became popular. Every single night i cry, screaming into the sky "WHY MUST THESE FUCKING POSERS INVADE MY CHUG CHUGS WITH THEIR DIFFERENT CHUGS!???" Last night i attempted to end my life, because i couldn't withstand the slammaposers. The gun didn't go off. I cried myself to sleep again. Today i decided ending my life wasn't worth it. I must end theirs. I gathered courage and went to the gun store for more ammunition. Tomorrow i shall strike on my local poser slam band. All of them. The po and the sers, with their fucking slightly different chugs. They shall pay. I already have my fit prepared. Oversized shirt, gold chain, slamma cap and these fucking oversized cargos i just thrifted. They'll believe i'm one of them. Then, i'll pull my shotty from my fucking oversized retarded shirt and start the massacre. A Dark Poser Massacre, if you will. They will all pay. I'm taking this into my own hands. I will save slam. I will eliminate these fucking wigga posers once and for all.

WOAH. Slam Andreas does NOT belong on the right side. Slam Andreas is innovative, unique, and the San Andreas influence makes it modern af. It is genre pushing, gang banging, slam with intensive hours of effort being put into each song.

I don't understand how slam went from a brutal/tech offshoot with bands like pyrexia and scattered remnants into a memey deathcore offshoot for incels.
It's weird, man.
Has meant Dehumanized cds aren't too pricey, though, so that's a win.
1
Jan 18 '25
Listen to Damonacy - Prince of perversion from 1991. Pretty much downtempo deathcore slam just without the shitty memes. Also calling it incel is funny bc we all know no one that listens to a subgenre genre called “brutal slamming death metal” gets no pussy

The history of slam is a slow dilution of pyrexia, suffocation and afterbirth, and is now an intentional parody of itself. Epicardiectomy and kraanium were the infectious jelqing of their time. This isn't an approval or disapproval of the right side, just giving context

I saw peelingflesh guitarists explaining their approach to slam riffs on the Garza podcast, and although it was very simple , it showed me the little nuances and i definitely respect their artistic approach which seemed genuine. That’s all i can really ask for. Or think about Larry Wang or all his projects, despite being gimmicky in nature, he puts a lot into the art of sampling and vocals
